Pro wrestling veteran Maria Kanellis recently announced on her Twitter (X) account that she and Mike Bennett have welcomed their third child, a son named William Mercury Bennett, who was born on Monday.
In her post, Kanellis shared photos along with the message: “William Mercury Bennett was born yesterday afternoon at 7 pounds 7ounces and 18.8 inches. He is an absolute angel. William gets his name from his great-grandfather who is my godfather and was an immigrant from Greece. And my brother who is a veteran, husband, father, and wonderful brother. They are two of the toughest men I know. William Mercury’s name means strong willed warrior, messenger. We are so in love.”
“For this child I have prayed.” Samuel 1:27″
The couple already has two other children: their daughter, Fredrica, who was born in 2018, and their son, Carver, who was born in February 2020. Before the arrival of their third child, Kanellis announced their pregnancy last June.
Bennett is currently signed with AEW/ROH. His last match was on the November 6th episode of ROH On HonorClub, where he teamed with Matt Taven in a loss to SkyFlight. Taven reportedly left AEW earlier this month when his contract expired, but Bennett remains with the company.
